Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 901

"Well, well, Selena, only you could act like nothing happened after a night like that."

Even though Everett said this, he wasn't angry. "Get some rest. Call me if you need anything—or even if you don't. I'll bring you back a little something."

After his words, he pulled Selena in for a long, lingering kiss, leaving only when he was satisfied.

Once he was gone, despite being exhausted, Selena couldn't sleep. She threw on a coat and stepped out onto the balcony, watching as Everett ducked into his car. The vehicle slowly drove away from Moon Bay, fading out of her sight.

She exposed her boyfriend, Everett, the CEO of Bennett Corporation, for shady dealings with the top executive, Austin. There was video and audio proof. She claimed Everett's personal life was a mess and that he had used his power to coerce her into the relationship.
